Aargh, SFSget bug in Easy 0.9.9

Murphy's Law strikes! After releasing EasyOS 0.9.9 this morning, was playing with SFSget and found a killer bug.
Here is the 0.9.9 announcement:

The bug is easy to fix. I am not going to re-build 0.9.9, so could
you kindly apply this fix manually, before using "sfsget" (icon at top
of screen). Open this file with Geany text editor:
/usr/local/sfsget/sfsget
And look at line 41:
if [ "$HASH" != "$aDB_hash" ];then #181124
...the "a" is missing. Please insert it, and save the file. Bug fixed.
I discovered this when downloading 'kodi' SFS, which has 'xenialpup'
dependency -- the dependency SFS reported a hash failure. That missing
letter caused the bug!
